哥伦布东宽街安全改造一期工程预计2027年10月完工
哥伦布市公共服务部门10月12日向《哥伦布快报》表示，位于城市远东区的东宽街一期安全改造工程正按计划推进，预计2027年10月完工（天气允许）。该项目覆盖270号州际公路以东、至外环路之间的繁忙四车道路段，合同总额2360万美元，目前承包商已支出1060万美元。
完工后的路段将新增直行与转弯车道、人行道和北侧共用步道，升级带背板的交通信号灯、行人过街按钮和信号联动管线，并增设路灯、行道树和雨水排水设施。目前施工方正在东西向车道之间铣刨铺设路面，东行车辆被迫变道绕行，预计今冬前完成路面主体施工；南侧路面拓宽到位后，车流将切换至新铺路面。这是市府改善远东区交通安全的重点工程之一。
Columbus East Broad Street Safety Project Phase One Set for October 2027 Completion
Columbus's Department of Public Service told the Columbus Dispatch on October 12 that the first phase of the East Broad Street safety project on the city's far east side is proceeding on schedule and is expected to be completed in October 2027, weather permitting. The project covers the busy four-lane stretch east of Interstate 270 to the outerbelt, with a total contract value of $23.6 million, of which the contractor has spent $10.6 million so far.
When complete, the corridor will add through and turn lanes, sidewalks and a shared-use path on the north side, upgraded traffic signals with backplates, pedestrian push buttons and signal interconnect conduit, plus street lighting, street trees and stormwater drainage facilities. Crews are currently milling and resurfacing the roadway between the eastbound and westbound lanes, forcing eastbound traffic to shift lanes; the main roadway work is expected to be finished before winter. Once the widened south side is in place, traffic will be switched onto the new pavement. The project is one of the city's flagship efforts to improve traffic safety on the far east side.
